@Transport_gc @cbcmckeown @cbcfifth @MarcGarneau @E4Dca @HealthEvidence @CochraneCanada @picardonhealth @Ahmed_Shalaby @ReporterTeresa And let's hope @Ahmed_Shalaby is right about mandatory seatbelts.
It's crucial that 🇨🇦 govs on all levels buck shabby everything-is-fine / can't-do industry standards, and commit to the #visionzero / #safesystems approach that we see in the cool countries.

@MrBikesABunch @cityofhamilton @ward1wilson @NrinderWard3 @JasonFarrHamOnt @JohnPaulDanko @neilarason Here are some of @neilarason's 9 points summarizing the #VisionZeroDifference.
Neil is Director, Injury Prevention & Healthy Settings, BC Ministry of Health >> https://t.co/r2ZRI5VGim
He wrote the book on best #roadsafety practices >> https://t.co/tb3uQck65y #visionzero #canada

@jddneary @TheSpec @AndrewDreschel @thekeenanwire @raisethehammer @JohnPaulDanko @ward1wilson @FredEisenberger @JasonFarrHamOnt I don't doubt that #HamOnt's so-called #VisionZero plan is well-intentioned. But it's stuck in a version of the failed "3 E's" paradigm.

Then make a plan that's based on this :

For an intro to fact-based #roadsafety policy look no further than @neilarason's feature in in the latest issue of @itecanada Transportation Talk.
This is REAL #VisionZero.

@SeanHur41022196 @Mattatthespec @JohnPaulDanko @jddneary I like using the term *paradigm* to describe the #VisionZeroDifference. As in Thomas Kuhn's 'paradigm shift' describing a radically new conceptual model >> https://t.co/3MtRGgNSWx
@NeilArason lays it out beautifully in the following chart.

I've added numbers to @neilarason's breakdown of #safesystems / #visionzero thinking, from here >> https://t.co/kRlGvI7kmu
This should be in the hands of EVERY politician & bureaucrat.
If they're not doing ALL NINE of these things the new way, then they're not doing it right.
@jddneary @SamCraggsCBC At the very least #VisionZero should be in scare quotes in any reports on the #HamOnt plan.
Its scattershot "5 E's" framework is little more than a tarted-up version of the failed "3 E's" paradigm.

EXCELLENT summary of the #VisionZeroDifference—basically a switch to state responsibility for a #publichealth crisis—by the great Claes Tingvall.
🇸🇪 took this to heart in 1997, and cut #roadviolence rates in half.
Can we finally get serious 🇨🇦?

⬇ Again JK gets Vision Zero, & @JohnTory does not.
Mayor admits #ToronotoisedVZ has failed, & sez onus must continue to be on road users.
But the #VisionZeroDifference entails onus on gov (in this case Toronto officials) to implement safe systems.

Vision Zero is a specific approach to road safety. It hasn’t failed in Toronto - it hasn’t been implemented (which is why people continue to die). Good news - we, too, can create a safe city. Reducing speeds to 30 km where there are conflicts between people and cars is primary.
⏬ He's right.. ⏬
#VisionZero is not about declaring that "no death is acceptable" & then perpetuating the failed Engineering, Enforcement & Education paradigm.
It's about implementing failsafe systems.

@acrosscanada @yyzMYA @citymississauga Took heat ("anything that saves lives us progress get your head out if the sand") from a city cllr for calling this victim-blaming.
But sloughing onus onto VRUs does *not* save lives, as explained here https://t.co/O4lC5K9LaV & in following section on the #visionzerodifference.
@geezed50 @spotmaticfan "If accidents do happen" then the system has already failed.
The #VisionZero approach views all road violence as predictable & preventable. So we say #crashnotaccident, and we focus on failsafe systems.
Details on the #VisionZeroDifference here :
https://t.co/O4lC5K9LaV
@spotmaticfan Point #1 (adding cops) is hardly better as a way to achieve safer streets.
100% behavioural change.
Not one piece of #ottwalk #ottbike infra.
No vehicle regulations (e.g. sideguards / direct vision standards for city trucks).
No acknowledgement of the #VisionZeroDifference.😠
"True #VisionZero policy questions the legitimacy of defensive walking and defensive cycling campaigns. So get ready for some pushback from traditional safety experts ... "

NEW POST on #Saskatoon's draft #VisionZero proposal.
There are important lessons in here for every 🇨🇦 city ...

The next time you're asking yourself which road user was at fault: remember that your city wants you to ask that.
The #VisionZeroDifference is fundamentally about governments on all levels taking responsibility for a change, by implementing #safesystems.

@RickGoldring @BurlonRoad Yup, still 28th. Latest rankings here: https://t.co/74LiHVtuDh
Great to see your interest @RickGoldring. 😎 I'd be happy to discuss the #visionzero (#safesystems) approach with you & any #Burlington ppl. -GL

@davidwebergreen @ElizabethPeloza @Love30ca PS: Truly great to see #roadsafety (increasingly called #VisionZero) increasingly on the #LdnOnt agenda.
Here's one more link on the evidence-based #visionzerodifference:

@calliope4112 @Jason_Neudorf @CycleLdnont @WSPCanada @CyclePlanner @EdwardSoldo @CityofLdnOnt @dhcycle That's right Shelley. #SharedResponsibility is not part of the #VisionZero #safesystems road safety paradigm.
For some background, see these sections on the 20thC shared responsibility approach, & how VZ shifts onus onto the state.

4. True #VisionZero scraps and replaces that "Engineering, Enforcement, Education" paradigm, for reasons that I explain in this brief synopsis of the #VisionZeroDifference :
https://t.co/O4lC5K9LaV
Enough "Education, Enforcement & Engineering" sez @thekeenanwire.
Slow the vehicles (and regulate them, I would add) and redesign the streets.
This is the safety paradigm that actually saves lives.
This is the #VisionZeroDifference.
